Wild Mountain Thyme
performed by Lucy Wainwright Roche
This sounds like an old traditional ballad but I believe it was written by an Irish guy,
McPeake in the 50's. This is Lucy Wainwright Roche's version and in my humble opinion
is the best one going around these days. Depending on your gender preference, you can
Lassie instead of Laddie. Lucy plays it in C#. Not sure if she use capo on 1st fret however.

Capo 1st fret
Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms around the purple heather
Chorus
Will ye go, Laddie go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will ye go, Laddie go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon' clear and crystal fountain
And on it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain
Chorus
Will ye go, Laddie go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will ye go, Laddie go?
If my true love will not go
I would surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Chorus
Will ye go, Laddie go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will ye go, Laddie go?
Will ye go, Laddie go?
